INVOCATION

Calling on the name of the Lord

PSALM 90 (Read Responsively)

Pastor: Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.

People: Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

Pastor: You return man to dust and say, "Return, O children of man!" For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.

People: So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.

Pastor: Return, O LORD! How long? Have pity on your servants. Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love.

Nearer my God to Thee

Nearer to Thee

E'en though it be a cross

That raiseth me

Still all my song shall be

Nearer my God to thee

Nearer my God to thee

Nearer to thee

Verse 2

Nearer my Lord to thee

Nearer to thee

Who to thy cross didst come

Dying for me

Strengthen my willing feet

Hold me in service sweet

Nearer O Christ to thee

Nearer to thee

Verse 3

Nearer O Comforter

Nearer to thee

Who with my loving Lord

Dwellest with me

Grant me thy fellowship

Help me each day to keep

Nearer my Guide to thee

Nearer to thee

Verse 4

But to be nearer still

Bring me O God

Not by the visioned steeps

Angels have trod

Here where they cross I see

Jesus I wait fo thee

Then evermore to be

Nearer to thee

PRAYER

Remembrance of Baptism

How Great Thou Art

LSB 801

Pastor: In Romans chapter 6, Paul writes:

People: "Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?"

Pastor: He continues, "We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life."

People: "For if we have been united with

him in a death like his, we shall certainly

be united with him in a resurrection like his."

Psalm 42:1-11

2 Corinthians 5:6-21

APOSTLES' CREED

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,

Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
